The vehicle belonging to a missing one-legged Ozarks man has been discovered in a pond, deepening the decade-old mystery surrounding his disappearance.
Donald Erwin, 59, vanished on December 29, 2013, after leaving his home to go to a store for cigarettes.
Erwin was largely wheelchair-dependent after losing his left leg from above the knee.
He lived in central Missouri with his wife, and drove a silver Hyundai Elantra.

For ten years, his family have been seeking answers about his disappearance to no end.
They appealed for help to Echo Divers, a volunteer search team, and have worked with true crime podcasters Beyond the Case to try to learn what came of Erwin.
This week, a clue finally came with the discovery of his vehicle in a pond on a private property not far from where he lived.
The vehicle was dredged from the water after being spotted on by one of Echo Divers’ drone cameras.
There have not been any arrests and Donald remains unaccounted for. Police say the current homeowners were cooperative with the search.
Erwin’s family say he vanished ‘without a trace’ in December 2013.
